The time is near, to come forward with whatever killed your spark.

Any subdivision and urban sprawl neighbourhood that includes in its title "River" or "Meadow" or "Forest", i.e., things that were plowed over to build these ironic dysfunctional blights.

We have a mall in Nashville called 100 Oaks, named after the 100 oak trees that had to be cleared.
I work in the city of 1000 Oaks. There are more than 1000, They are numbered  and  are all protected by law. You can not even prune one on your property without a permit.

I'm probably being a prick, but that is not an oxymoron.

Sorry. I guess that was the first time ever someone made a side comment in a thread. I guess that makes you the second.

A sad, sad day.  It's my best friend's elementary school and he's pretty broken up about it right now.  His father overheard the shots.  Bout to go buy him a drink or two.

I hear ya; I don't want to start a nuclear war, but GUN SAFETY is not an oxymoron. I have plenty of friends and family that are kind, loving and responsible gun owners who practice gun safety. So do police officers and the military, for the most part.

Morgan Freeman has a pretty good take on the school shootings. I would post but I'm at work and on a phone.

hey, it was an emotional day and still remains highly charged tmp2, I don't do it personally, but I don't mind hunters at all who eat what they shoot.  but real hunters, who eat what they kill, don't use assault rifles.  these things shouldn't be available to the public and should be used by military and police personnel only.

Understood, but there's a better solution than to "fuck the fucking NRA"

Understood, but there's a better solution than to "fuck the fucking NRA"

but tmp2, the NRA is basically a fringe organization at this point and doesn't represent all responsible gun owners.  this organization which is a very, very small segment of society, through its deep pockets and powerful lobby, is essentially responsible for curtailing any meaningful legislation to be passed or even any meaningful conversation to be had lest a politician be painted as against the 2nd amendment.  and I also think that abject cowardice by our political leaders is also to blame.  I mean, Obama didn't even mention the word "gun" in his remarks the other night! 

the NRA shouldn't speak for gun owners the same way that Focus on the Family shouldn't speak for all people of Christian faith.

mind at large

ill add two phrases

"words cannot express" --- words express everything b/c that is what words do.

"not to mention" --- usually when this phrase is used, it is always followed by that which is supposed to go unmentioned.
